    Helping the Forestry Industry Leave a “Green Footprint ”

    Today, preserving resources and the environment are top concerns for businesses and consumers.  In the forestry industry, the effects reverberate from trees to the end-customer.  How can a timber production unit manage its business while sustaining the land?  How can a shopper looking to purchase a table confirm that the wood used was harvested ethically and from a sustainable forest? 

     

    With a "forest" certification from Bureau Veritas Certification, timber production units and manufacturers benefit by reassuring consumers, professional buyers and retailers whilst building customer loyalty and an ultimate market share.  At the same time, they incorporate sustainable business practices into their daily operations, assuring a brighter future for the industry.

     

    Bureau Veritas Certification offers two types of certifications:


    • Forest Management, for companies that manage natural or planted forests, also available to supply chain partners; and


    • Chain of Custody, a wood origin traceability certification for companies using products originating from the forest(i.e., furniture manufacturers, publishers, pulp industries). 


    With over 15 million hectares of forestland worldwide verified by Bureau Veritas Certification as well as dozens of international Chain of Custody certifications granted, Bureau Veritas Certification has significant experience in the forestry industry standards.
